Leah Kennon, CVT

Medical Director, Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon

Leah Kennon has a long history in veterinary medicine and animal welfare. She graduated from Bel Rea Institute of Animal Technology in 1986 and started her veterinary technician career in Denver Colorado. She moved to Germany and worked for the Army running wellness clinics on remote bases and running the central surgery clinic in Frankfurt Germany. It was here that Leah first started working on a mobile veterinary hospital. Leah joined FCCO in 1998 to manage the new mobile operations and through her leadership became Operations Director in 2002. In her tenure she has managed and grown our spay/neuter program from helping 1,800 cats per year to 7,500, and expanded our services to include pet cats, wellness, and more. Leah’s drive for a high standard of care and efficiency has been invaluable to the success and reputation that FCCO has in the community. Leah was promoted to Medical Director in 2019 so she can more effectively manage FCCO’s overall medical program, training, and future planning. In her free time Leah enjoys spending time with her dog Bella, gardening and spending time with friends.
